How planets form is a question that has long vexed the world's astronomers. In recent years, the so-called pebble theory - where tiny gravel particles are sucked together - has gained ground. A new paper shows that ice plays a crucial role in allowing these celestial bodies to reach a certain size where they can continue to grow to planetary size. Just over 4.6 billion years ago, our planetary sys

Ever since it was invented in the 1960s, the laser has found new areas of use, and is today very useful in research, industry and society. In most laser applications, for example material processing, the laser can be placed very close to the area to be processed. However, there are many important application areas where this is problematic. For example, if you want to use the laser to study an are

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc

What if ordinary skin cells could be effectively reprogrammed to become brain cells and help with diseases like Alzheimer's? And what if machine learning allowed surgeons to precisely remove tumour cells on the operating table? These are the areas of research that Emil Andersson has been exploring to get closer to a solution. He successfully defended his PhD in computational biology at CEC. His th
